Do you keep a journal?

I was just wondering how many of you keep a journal either online or written by hand or just kept on a file on your computer. I do keep a journal and have for a long time. It makes me feel better to write everything down. I also have a diet journal that I write down motivational quotes and such in to keep me on my diet track!

I keep a Livejournal.

don't write anything down....learned that one in high school!

I have a xanga.. and I pretty much set my entries to "private" after so long.. but besides that, I don't have a journal. Used to, though.

I used to when I was little, but I haven't in years!

I have a LiveJournal, but I used to keep a hand written one as a child

I used to write in my journal everyday...but I haven't for a few years.

i post to 2 online journal places for fun, a mommy forum, and have a paper journal. i also do a scrapbook timeline for my son hehe

and no surprisingly that dosent take up a whole lotta time hehe. Its a gradual process. But it really helps me to get every thing out. Sometimes i have alot of problems with things going on, and i need advice or help, or just time to vent, and its great to have people to listen and a place to write, and also to remember whats going on in my life.

I keep the personal, good ole fashion journal at home. I maybe write in it once or twice a month...I use to all the time, but lately I'm lacking time!

I keep a journal, and have done so for several years. This journal is very interesting to read, because it covers the time in which I went temporarily insane. You can see the difference in my thought patterns and such very easily.

although I really wish I would have kept a journal about my kids - all of those funny things they said and did that I though I wouldn't forget.

For a while, quite a few years back, we kept Thankful Journals and that was really neat. Each day we wrote down 5 things (no matter how small or big) that we were thankful for.

I love to write in my journal... Keeps my mind straight

Oh? It worked for you, then? It didn't exactly work for me.....

I try to keep a journal every day - but I fall off the wagon on that more than I actually do it...

Well it tries to keep it straight... Sometimes it gets nutz..

My shopping lists are my journals. I can always remember what was going on in my life based on what I needed at the time.

I keep a paper journal and an online journal. my online journal as at OpenDiary.com

It's the only online diary site I've actually enjoyed.
